Run-time error 70

[shill]

Good Morning Everyone!

Since installing newest version of ACTIVstudio, user get run-time error 70 when terminating application. User is running under XP SP2 and does not have administrative rights. Evidently, application is trying to write to a file for which user does not have full control. The user does have full control over ACTIVstudio directory and all subfolders. Any thoughts?

Regards,
Stephen

Hi Stephen

Welcome to the forum! It is better for this type of issue if you contact Technical Support as they will be able to identify specific issues which are applicable to your "situation/computer".... The link is at the top of the page when you first enter the forum, or from the front page of Promethean Planet.+wave+

I had and am still having this problem with the software - can you let me know if you made any progress?


Thanks

Runtime error 70 - Permission denied: The location of where the program is being copied to does not have proper rights. Or a file that is trying to be copied over because it's currently being used. Try closing all programs and TSRs and running/installing the program again.

Found this on the Internet. If you need further assitance please contact tech support.

Hi, shill..

What you could do is use a couple of utilities which have saved my sanity (well, some of it!) on several occasions.

As it sounds like a file access (NTFS) problem, I'd recommend you first try Filemon from SysInternals (now Microsoft).


Run it as someone with Admin rights (necessary, I'm afraid), recording writes only in the filter option... You may also be able to filter it further by specifying to only watch the Activ process..

Run your Activ app and then close it.

If you switch back to FileMon, you should have a list of any files which have been written to... Save it out a as a text file for future reference.

You should now be able to comb through it to see if there's anything being written in funky places... Popular gotchas will be Program Files. Possibly also the Common Users Documents or Application Data folder.


If it was a registry problem, the other utility I'd recommend was RegMon also by SysInternals.


I hope this is of some help? And if you find out what it was, could you make a note of it here someplace so that others don't go through the same headache you're facing?

Cheers,
Gerard
